UNSPSC 40175406: Pipe support hangers

A pipe hanger is a designed element that transfer the load from a pipe to the supporting structures. The load includes the weight of the pipe proper, the content that the pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe, and the pipe covering such as insulation.

UNSPSC 40175406 Pipe support hangers is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone line item; the recent opportunities show this code is applied inconsistently or as a secondary tag to construction projects that are primarily about water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure work rather than pipe hangers themselves. The code sees minimal relevant recent activity, and the opportunities posted under it do not reflect actual purchases of pipe support hangers as a distinct product or service. Several of the opportunities are misaligned with the code's nominal scope—water main replacements, sewer line rehabilitation, storm drain lining, and drainage improvements are construction activities that may incidentally use hangers as components, not procurement of hangers as the primary deliverable. The issuing bodies pursuing water and wastewater infrastructure across the recent opportunities include municipal utility commissions (Town of Waterford, Connecticut), county utilities and departments of water resources (Orange County and Gwinnett County, Florida and Georgia), municipal water departments (City of Arlington, City of Sandersville), and special-purpose water and sewer authorities (Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority, Great Lakes Water Authority). This suggests that any procurement tagged under this code would be embedded within larger utility construction or maintenance contracts rather than sourced as a discrete product purchase.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (Orange County, Pasco County, Marion County) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Calhoun Utilities, City of Lawrenceville, Columbus Water Works), with additional activity in Connecticut, Michigan, South Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, and Arizona. Representative opportunities include Orange County, Florida requesting sealed bids for Storm Water Pipe Slip Lining Rehabilitation (Y27-110) under an IFB with a five-year estimated cost of $39.3 million and bids due October 20, 2026; Gwinnett County, Georgia requesting sealed bids for the State Route 120 Water Main Replacement (BL047-26) with approximately 9,700 linear feet of 16-inch ductile iron pipe installation and bids due September 4, 2026; and the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (South Carolina) requesting bids for the Penn Center Waterline Replacement (CIP-2411) with approximately 1,950 linear feet of water mains and bids due May 27, 2026. None of these solicitations explicitly purchases pipe support hangers as the primary scope; all are construction contracts where hangers would be incidental materials supplied by the contractor as part of broader installation work.
